Hi can you help me , i'm following your install instructions:

my router version: EdgeRouter X v1.10.11 since i'm using a ER-X i'm following the MediaTek-based instructions

root@router:/tmp# sudo mkdir -p /config/data/firstboot/install-packages
root@router:/tmp# mv prometheus-edgerouter-exporter_mipsel.deb /config/data/firstboot/install-packages

root@router:/tmp# sudo dpkg -i /config/data/firstboot/install-packages/prometheus-edgerouter-exporter_mipsel.deb
dpkg-deb: error: archive '/config/data/firstboot/install-packages/prometheus-edgerouter-exporter_mipsel.deb' contains not understood data member control.tar.xz, giving up

Hi, thanks for filing this.

It seems that the version of dpkg in EdgeOS v1.10.11 is too old to handle the currently distributed package format (xz). Can you show which dpkg version does your installation have so I can package it in a different format?

$ apt-cache policy dpkg

As I extracted the OS image of EdgeOS v1.10.11 and checked on /var/lib/pkg/status, it turns out that it does not work anyway even I package it in a different format. EdgeOS v1.10.11 is based on Debian “wheezy” and comes with libc6 2.13-38+deb7u11 but edgerouter-exporter only works with libc6 >= 2.23^1. Closing as I don’t think I can easily provide a binary for such an old release with the current infrastructure but feel free to open a PR if it’s possible.
